In addition to the character-by-character baseline shift, it would be
interesting to see a similar level of control over rotate and shear of each
individual character(s) selected. This would be interesting in that the text
would still remain editable as an entire string, rather than have to break
it into separate lines and line groups for each character or group of
characters.
I'm not entirely sure under what circumstances I couldn't live without this
feature (or even ever use it at all) but it occurs to me that given the
scriptable nature of AlterCast, and the direction some of us are heading
toward designed-template driven design, whereby data and presentation are
kept separate as far down the path as possible, it might be of use to allow
logotype treatments to be defined, without ever having knowledge of the
exact spelling of the logotype type content.
I suppose it might be useful if, for example, a major company needed to
retain public identity but subtly change its name due to major accounting
misdeeds being disclosed, or something of this nature. This would enable
rapid generation of such logotypes for new and entirely differnet companies
such as Unron, WorldCon and Xorex, without any human intervention.
